Question

Stupid things!” Alice began in a loud, indignant voice, but she stopped hastily, for the White Rabbit cried out, “Silence in the court!” and the King put on his spectacles and looked anxiously round, to make out who was talking. Which words in paragraph 7 helped you determine the meaning of indignant?

A) stopped hastily
B) "Stupid things!"
C) "Silence in the court!"
D) looked anxiously around

Answer 1

The answer would be Choice A.

"stopped hastily" --> "stopped hurriedly" --> "stopped hurriedly because she felt a little embarrassed"

So, since indignant means, quote, "feeling or showing anger because of something unjust or unworthy,"
"stopped hastily" best determines the meaning of "indignant."
